Could this mean the end of Big Bang Theory? Say it isn't so

For all Big Bang Theory fans, it's time to cover your ears or even turn off your computers because the word is that the next season will be the last.

Show runner Steve Molaro confessed that the popular CBS comedy is edging closer to "the ending point".

So, will season 10 be the end? "I think so. I can't speak to the future or on behalf of the cast or where we'll be then but it's certainly possible that it could go past that," Steve tells The Hollywood Reporter.

"The reality is that maybe season 10 is the ending point. The real answer is I don't know and all I can do right now is go episode to episode and try to make each one the best that we can.

"There's still so many episodes to go. Even if hypothetically season 10 was the end, I wouldn't be focusing on that yet. That seems like something that would be dealt with way down the line."

Currently in season nine, we've seen some major milestones being hit, with Leonard and Penny getting hitched and Sheldon and Amy finally getting it on.

But co-creator Chuck Lorre says the idea of season 10 being the last for TV's No. 1 comedy isn't even a realistic question.

"I never imagined nine [seasons] and here we are," he says. "I'm not going to presume to know how many years this has because it's ridiculous for me to guess.

"It's already gone beyond my wildest dreams so anything beyond this … as long as everybody is having a good time and we're making a show we're proud of … then it's worth continuing."
